Bollywood’s iconic singer Shaan’s son Maahi is all grown up! And while he shares an uncanny resemblance with his father, this 19-year-old is not your ordinary star kid. He comes bearing an equally melodious voice that has the power to mesmerise. With two of his tracks ‘Sorry’ and ‘Jaadugari’ already finding a spot in everyone’s hearts, a performance at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and a passion for music like no other, Maahi may seem to have it all, but what sets him apart is the fact that he acknowledges his privilege. This World Music Day, Maahi speaks exclusively to mid-day.com about taking Shaan’s legacy forward, comparisons, pressure to sustain in showbiz, and more.

For most of us `90s kids, Kumar Sanu`s melodius voice has been an integral part of our lives.

This World Music Day, we sat down with the legend to revisit his journey from a humble tabla player in Kolkata to `Melody King` of Bollywood.
